Tire Inflator….may be over kill but works great.

[yippie]

What is it with Cybertruck owners doing stupid shit nowadays ? Why can't you just get a cheap inflator and use that instead of this monstrosity ?

Or make stupid jokes about the CT. Like we don't get enough shit from everyone else. We don't need to feed the trolls more garbage.

Like the Cybertruck with all-season tires getting stuck in the snow in Canada, and everyone laughing at it because it's stuck in the snow. People do weird shit with the truck, and it just perpetuates the stereotype of this truck and the people who own it.

Oh, the Cybertruck owners, they're a sight to see,
With their shiny steel chariots, oh so sleek and free.
But mention a dent, or a scratch, or a flaw,
And their faces turn red, their tempers they draw!

"Elon's creation is perfection, you see,
Any critique is pure heresy!" they decree.
But friends, let's be real, it's just a truck,
Not a holy relic, nor a stroke of luck.

They guard it like dragons with their precious hoard,
But maybe it's time to lighten the load.
So to the Cybertruck zealots, I say with a grin,
"Get a life, my friends, and let the fun begin!"

i wasn’t having a lot of luck with my little hand held battery operated tire inflator. Took for ever. This may be over kill but it works great and not that expensive. The 120 volt air compressor was only $112 and 50’ of hose and hand held inflator another $30. Compressor is quite. Fits neatly into the trunk. If the stainless starts to rust I can always spray paint the Cybertruck.?

I got this and it works flawlessly (especially great if you're already in the Milwaukee ecosystem):

Guys, why do we have such thin skins? People make jokes, ridicule, or put you down. That’s their problem not yours. You live your life and let them live theirs. What they say makes no difference in your life.
Your life will be so much happier when you care less about what others think

Over kill? What’s that?

 

[Trekboy]

Not mine, I was down at 20PSI for sand dunes and had no trouble, even after getting back into normal mode on the road to drive a bit to fill up



True!



Same here, perhaps the OP needs to shift into Off road?
or some other issue?

I find it interesting that you went down to 20 psi. Are those with stock tires, and which ones? Because of the weight of CT, everyone seems to be saying to keep things up well past 30 psi. I've never run this high in other vehicles. With my lighter weight 4Runner I'll run at 15 psi for rocks and 10 for sand. BUT, I don't drive like a madman, and I keep my speed down appropriately.

Did the exact same thing. Just got my pickup and planning a trip across country. FB market place found a spare for $400 and a like new Makita compressor for 175. Nice you can turn the screen on and confirm the tire pressure prior to putting the hubcaps back on.

Why are you guys buying compressors with air tanks for filling tires? It makes no sense!

My 120V compressor fits neatly in the little side compartment that you have your air hose in and fills tires a lot faster. An air tank is very sub-optimal because it forces the compressor to work at the pressure the air tank is at instead of the actual pressure in the tires as you fill them. You will fill much faster and with less heating of the compressor and less battery drain if you eliminate the pressure tank (the tire is basically a big pressure tank). It will also consume less space and weight less without the undesireable air tank.

This will fill all four of Cybertruck's All-Terrain tires simultaneously from 30 psi to 50 psi in four minutes total when used with an air hose designed to connect to all four tires simultaneously:

Plus, it's very quiet and solid running. You can turn it to 50% speed to fill one tire and it's even quieter. I've used it many times and it appears to be a solid little compressor.

Why pressurize more air than you actually need? If you need a tank to run a higher powered pneumatic air tool, you can always plumb a tank inline with this little compressor.

Man I love it when my thinking cap falls off and I come to this form for direction. That is a good idea!

IIRC the manual suggests 15 PSI for off road, we didn't want to spin it loose in Baja mode so kept it at about 20PSI

Akita makes a wonderful battery powered inflator/ uses standard Makita tool batteries and you dial in the. Pressure you want and it works great. I keep one in every car with a good tire plug kit, needle node pliers and I am ready to fix almost any flat.

Did you know if all the tires get much below 45 psi the Cybertruck won’t let it be put in drive. Low pressure on the tires show up on the screen and remains there until you inflate the tires back to 50 psi. When trying to inflate them with a little hand held inflator I lost tire pressure and the car locked me out from being put in drive.

This has not been my experience. Maybe post some screen shots of what you are experiencing.

Other setups here are great.

I run this on CT and have been very pleased.

Same one I recommended. A fine unit.
